Abstract:
We introduce a quantum Lernmatrix based on the Monte Carlo Lernmatrix in which n units are stored in the quantum superposition of log2(n) units representing On2log(n)2 binary sparse coded patterns. During the retrieval phase, quantum counting of ones based on Euler's formula is used for the pattern recovery as proposed by Trugenberger. We demonstrate the quantum Lernmatrix by experiments using qiskit. We indicate why the assumption proposed by Trugenberger, the lower the parameter temperature t; the better the identification of the correct answers; is not correct. Instead, we introduce a tree-like structure that increases the measured value of correct answers. We show that the cost of loading L sparse patterns into quantum states of a quantum Lernmatrix are much lower than storing individually the patterns in superposition. During the active phase, the quantum Lernmatrices are queried and the results are estimated efficiently. The required time is much lower compared with the conventional approach or the of Grover's algorithm.

E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
